Dolphins coach Cam Cameron discusses the various duties fullbacks have in his offense.

Cameron views Schlesinger and rookie Reagan Mauia, who played in the run-and-shoot offense at Hawaii, as multitalented players capable of delivering a block, a run or pass reception. He coached three-time Pro Bowl FB Lorenzo Neal as he helped make LaDainian Tomlinson a superstar in San Diego.

"A fullback is part lineman, part tight end and part groundhog, I guess," Cameron said. "The mental part is the key because he's the second-level blocker most of the time."

Jason Elam is amazed that the Broncos' new special teams coach has them running plays.

O'Brien's attention to detail has been evident from the jump in training camp.

Kicker Jason Elam, who has played under Richard Smith, Rick Dennison, Frank Bush and Ronnie Bradford before O'Brien, marveled earlier this week when the Broncos, in their third practice of camp, sprinted onto the field in a live, two-minute field- goal drill.

"We didn't even do field-goal team then," he said of his past experiences. "I'm not even sure if guys knew who was on field goal."

Jaguars.com's Vic Ketchman answers a question about Vince Manuwai.

Matt from Honolulu, HI: Aloha from Hawaii, Vic. Fans in Hawaii would love to know how Vince Manuwai is doing?

Vic: Manuwai has a chance to become one of the league’s elite run-blockers. He’s naturally powerful and reminds me of the most naturally powerful and athletic offensive lineman I have ever covered. Tony Boselli? No, it was a guy named Carlton Haselrig. Manuwai is Haselrig; Manuwai has that kind of fork-lift power. Look at what he did to Derek Landri in the Oklahoma.
